Description Ross Burton 2013-07-08 15:40:40 UTC 
There should be some way of putting all of the machine-specific details into configuration files so that runqemu doesn't actually have any machine-specific knowledge.  This way the qemu-zynq and qemu-microblaze details can be in the layer that defines those machines.

(proposing as a 1.6 feature)

Another option from RP: 
(09:55:48 AM) RP: sgw: I'm not sure it has to be a massive rewrite, just adding the ability to search through something like BBPATH for scripts of a given name, source them then have a common function set
